Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Netley Marsh
Duct Doctor has cleaned kitchen extract ductwork since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you’re dealing with thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct and grease seeping out of the duct seams, we can put it right, from access panels, multi-storey ducts and bends and junctions onwards.
Somewhere as small as Netley Marsh, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

FAQs for Netley Marsh
Which fire authority looks after Netley Marsh?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can a school canteen extract in Netley Marsh be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 14 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Netley Marsh. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. File them with the fire risk assessment.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Visits to a village like Netley Marsh are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, where fire dampers may be fitted. We test those as a separate job.
Why deal with it now?
TR19® isn’t law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Netley Marsh rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.

Kitchen extracts in Netley Marsh
Netley Marsh lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency records list about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Netley Marsh. Where they cook under a canopy, grease does not stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Netley Marsh. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Netley Marsh Church of England Infant School or anywhere near Netley Marsh, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Matthew, or anywhere in Netley Marsh, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Keep to the interval on the report
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
What we are called out for in Netley Marsh
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Netley Marsh as anywhere. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Years of grease along the duct floor
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Netley Marsh is Tatchbury Mount Hospital, about 1.1 miles north.

- Proof of insurance
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ductwork cleaning won’t do:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Faulty fire dampers
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
